Can T4 Do This?
Hi guys, found a new (to me) feature on the ZT-T yesterday. Got home last night and turned the ignition off before switching off the lights. Imagine my surprise when they stayed on for around 30 seconds before going off, very handy for seeing your way to the front door.
This got me thinking, is it possible to have the lights come on for, say, 30 seconds when you unlock the car using the fob? I believe this is available on some higher-end cars already (Audi, BMW etc.) and wondered if this is something that the T4 guys could do (if they haven't already done so of course?). Apologies if I am going over old ground here!

This is not available on the 75. On the other cars you mentioned (BMW, Audi, etc...), it only does so in cars equipped with a light sensor, and when visibility is low. If daytime then only the DRL switch on.
Our 75s and ZTs have neither of those so...

Pretty sure my 75 does, isn't it a standard dealer option?

You misread what the OP asked about. He's not talking about Follow Me Home (actually he mentioned it as an intro to his question), he's asking about having the lights switch on when UNLOCKING the car with the fob. This is not Follow Me Home, and as I mentioned, this feature doesn't exist in our cars.

Use a relay with the coil energised by the internal light positive supply to supply 12 v to the dipped beam headlights via a pair of blocking diodes.
alarm disarm, internal lights on, headlights on.... Stop car, open door, headlights on, arm alarm, internal lights fade, relay de energises, headlights off... simples
